Carmen Electra is usually entertaining her throes of fans on Instagram with provocative photos, but she's also there to lend a helping hand or shoulder to lean on when her followers reach out for guidance. Electra took to Instagram on Saturday morning with a nice sunrise surprise for her 1.2 million followers when she dropped a modeling photo of herself playing with lights and shadows. While the photo was meant to be fun, the post ended up serving as a platform for good when a fan reached out for help.

Wearing a skintight dress that was lit up green and cast an impressive shadow of the curvy model, Electra captioned her post:

"The eye is always caught by light, but SHADOWS have more to say."

The actress credited the creative shot to Walid Azami, a music video director famous for working with stars like Usher, Kanye West and Tamar Braxton.

Carmen Electra's photo racked up thousands of likes and lots of praise from fans, who hailed her as, "breathtakingly beautiful," but one comment stood out among the group.

One man posted in Electra's comment feed that he was in need of help:

"I am not ok. Feeling rock bottom. Please take a few seconds to say hello if you see this message . Thank you," the message read.

Of her hundreds of comments, the former "Baywatch" star saw the desperate plea for help and responded to her fan.

"hi ??hope u are feeling better !" she wrote.

The message seems to have made an impact on the man, who followed up by writing, "doing the best I can for sure . Went outside for the first time since March yesterday . It was stimulating . Depression really stinks . Thank you for your kind words."

Staying healthy, including mentally, is important to Carmen Electra and the star has discussed what she does to maintain a healthy lifestyle and on her best game.

"Having a healthy lifestyle isn’t that complicated—you need to exercise, eat right, stay hydrated, get the right amount of rest, and, most important, try to live as stress-free as possible," she told Muscle & Fitness in an interview back in 2014.

She added, "One of the sexiest qualities you can have is to be confident in who you are."

The 48-year-old star's active lifestyle helps her continue to crush goals along her career path, including a recent magazine cover.

Tapping into her "Pussycat Dolls" roots last month

for the newest edition of Runway Magazine, Electra appeared in a silky animal print suit that was revealing in all the right ways. She was seen gently unbuttoning her fancy jacket to reveal her voluptuous curves in a delicate corset underneath.

Set against a backdrop that appeared to be dark reptilian skin, the star was clearly feeling the look.
